WHAT IS LINUX?WHAT IS LINUX?
Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply – the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. Without the operating system (often referred to as the “OS”), the software wouldn’t function.
The main benefits and advantages of Linux over other operating systems, particularly Microsoft Windows, are:It is free to use and distribute.It is very reliable – more so than most other operating systems with very few crashes.A huge amount of free open source software has been developed for it.It is very resistant to malware such as spyware, adware and viruses.
